i kind of like this list, not that i agree with its rankings much at all. i just like it givin' props to Madvillainy, Person Pitch, Vision Creation Newsun, and Ys while simultaneously not having Franz Ferdinand and putting Arctic Monkeys low enough. too bad about Is This It, though. And hey, i guess the "classics" could use a little ass-whoopin now and again, just to remind us that not EVERYBODY thinks they're perfect.

What's wrong with FF, the Strokes and Artic Monkeys? Not pretentious enough or too catchy to be considered trendy by the snoby indie rock hipsters? The war the actual Franz Ferdinand started is less disasterous than Joanna Newsom's YS. Had the album been around back than it could have been used to torture the hostages.
